Sergej Kovalenkov was a notable armored infantryman in the Armed Forces of the Federated Commonwealth during the Clan Invasion Era.[1]
History
Private First Class Kovalenkov had many merits: his strong physical appearance made him perfect for recruiting materials and a magnet for women, he was a six year veteran of the AFFC's infantry, and he had earned a degree in military science after only two years of study. These qualifications earned him the honor of being the first soldier to field-test the Inner Sphere's initial foray into battle armor technology in 3050. Kovalenkov, then on the path for promotion to leftenant, identified himself too closely with the powers his armored suit provided him, quickly developing an imagined aura of invincibility and a self-centered attitude that made him impossible to work with.[1]
After being downgraded back to an enlisted rank, Kovalenkov became even more vicious and reckless in combat, with it being said that his aggressiveness was the reason battle armor was designed with closed helmets—otherwise he would likely attempt to tear out an enemy's myomer with his teeth. Kovalenkov ultimately perished in combat in 3057 during the Free Worlds League's Operation GUERRERO. Having been once more downgraded in rank for endangering his fellow soldiers, Kovalenkov died when he caused his battle armor to malfunction after plunging his claws into the PPC of a League BattleMech.[1]
